Banks vs. Steiner Match
The fourth and the final game of the proposed six-game match was played Monday, March 1, at the Pasadena Club at the Hotel Green. The players were enthusiastically received, and after an introductory speech by Dr. Sawyer and A. V. Taylor, the contestants resumed play. The game proceeded along the usual line of the Nimzowitsch Defense to the Queen's Pawn Opening. White's fourth move was weak in allowing doubling of his Queen's Bishop pawn. On his thirteenth move he made a fatal blunder which resulted in loss of a rook and the game.
